ESPN has suspended "SportsCenter" anchor Jemele Hill for a second violation of its social media rules, the company announced Monday. He expressed outrage Monday over Hill's two-week suspension by ESPN and threatened a boycott of the network.

"If they don't kneel, some will see them as sellouts", Hill wrote.

There were several others, too, laying out her position that Cowboys players have too much burden to bear here.

ESPN has suspended journalist and TV personality Jemele Hill for suggesting on Twitter that NFL fans should boycott some of the league's advertisers.

On Sunday, Hill was reacting to remarks made by Dallas Cowboys ownerJerry Jones in which he said that "if there's anything that is disrespectful to the flag, then we will not play" the players who are responsible.

"Twitter wasn't the place to vent my frustrations because, fair or not, people can't or won't separate who I am on Twitter from the person who co-hosts the 6 p.m. SportsCenter", Hill wrote then. Smith will be back for Tuesday's broadcast. Instead, Matt Barrie hosted alone, on a standard set missing the SC6 branding that usually accompanies Hill and Smith's show.

Back in September, it was reported Hill was nearly taken off "SportsCenter", at least for one night, after the White House called her tweets about Trump "a fireable offense".

So just where did Hill run afoul of ESPN guidelines? "That resulted in us not taking action on the tweet that she put out". "My respect for the company and my colleagues remains unconditional".

But Conrade told CNN on Monday he later heard repeated gunfire. "I know some of the video poker players that play big". There is still no evidence Paddock was motivated by ideology, or that there was another shooter, he said.

However, the White House has declined to answer the question about what kind of action Trump was referencing in this scenario. Trump left it on that particularly ominous note without deciding to go into specifics on what that "one thing" might be.
